Application filed July 16, 1910. Serial No. 572304 a .citizen of theUnited States, residing at provide a very simple device of the above,characterwhereby the pail may be readily:

' Weed, in the county of Otero and Territory of New Mexico, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Pail Attachments, ofwhich'the following is a specification, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings.

This invention relates to an improved attachment for fastening aflexible hose to a pail or other water receptacle and more particularlyto means for fastening the tube of a syringe to a bucket or pail.

The primary object of my invention is to pierced and my attachmentdisposed through the opening formed therein for the'attachment of therubber tube, means being provided to securely seal the opening in thepail and prevent the escape of water.

I A further object of the invention is to provide a threaded shankbeveled at one end to form a piercing point and having its other endenlarged for engagement by the end of a flexible tube, -rubber washersbeing arranged on said shank engaged on oppo-' .site faces of thebody ofthe pail to securely close the opening which receives said shank.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of thenovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of.partshereinafter fully described and claimed, andfillustrated in theacco'mpanying drawing, in which- Figure ,1 is a fragmentary perspectiveview of a pail, showing my improved attachment arranged thereon; Fig. 2is a vertical section and Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of thetubular piercing member. r

. Referrin 'more particularly to the drawings 5 ind1cates the pailwhichis of any ordinary fo'rm and is constructed 'of sheet metal or othermaterial. Upon the pail adjacent to the bottom thereof my improvedattachment is adapted to be arranged. This attachment comprises athreaded tubular shank 6 one end of which is beveled orinclined as shownat 7. Adjacent to the other end of the shank the wings 8 are formed andare oppositely disposed for engagement by the fingers in arranging thedevice on the pail. Beyond the wings 8 the shank 6-is of ellipticalconvex form as shown at 9 so is arranged upon the shank 6 in engagementwith the opposite faces of the side of the that the end of a flexiblehose H maybe pail. A metal cap 11 receives theouter washer and forcesthe same into" close ongagement upon the pail as the shank is turned orrotated. to properly secure the .same.1n position. A nut 12 is screwedupon the inner end of the shank 6 and is provided in its face with acircular recess 12' which receives the innerwasher 10.

In the application of theinvention, the

or other convenient instrument to provide an opening in which thepointof theshank 6 formed by the beveled end 7 thereof may be engaged. Theshank 6 is then given a rapid rotary movement and at the same timepressure is brought to bear thereon to force the same through the sideof the pail, the opening which is formed b the nail being graduallyenlarged. It wil be understood of course thatthe washers are properlyarranged in posit-ion to be engaged on the shank after it has thus beenextended through the pail. The. nut 12 and the cap 11 arescrewed inopposite directions upon the shank 6 to engage the washers 10 upon theopposite faces of the pail. It will be noted from reference to Fi 2 thatthese washers are of greater thic ess than the depth of the recesses inthe nut and cap so that they project beyond the same and may be closelyengaged with the pail about the opening through which theshank extends,the nut and cap being out ofcontact with the pail. Thus it will be seenthat the opening which is formed by the shank 6 is very securely closedand the-escape of theliquid from the pail entirely obviated. The syringehose or tube H may now be-attached over the elliptical end of the shankand used in the usual manner.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have devised a very simple andnovel attachment which may be carried, by physicians in their pockets sothat the syringe hose may be readily attached to the pail in,

.a very few minutes: The device may also be adapted-to a large number ofother uses other thin that above mentioned and it will be understoodthat I donot wish to be re- -metal pail is first pierced by means of anail stricted in the development of my invention to any particularapplication of the same or to the exact form and proportions illustratedin the accompanying drawings, the device being susceptible ofconsiderable modification without departing from the essential featureor sacrificing any of 'the advantages which accrue thereto.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:- a

A device of the character described comprising a threadedshank-having'an elliptical enlargement formed on one of its ends,

the longitudinal axis of which is in aline ment with the longitudinalaxis of said shank, said shankand enlargement having a continuouslongitudinal bore, the other end of said shank being beveled to providea piercing point adapted for cutting engagement with the wall of avessel through which the shank is adapted to be disposed," washersarranged on said shank for enga, -ge.--- 7 ment with the opposite facesofthe wall of the vessel, a nut threaded on the inner end of said shankhaving a recess in its face to receive one of the washers, a cap also'the vessel, said. finger-pieces being also adapted to-bear' :upon theface of said cap to force the washer therein against the walf of thevessel-:2?

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix, my signature in the presence oftwo witnesses.
